Beds for the followers of fashion

What makes a bed fashionable? Beds are beds, surely. In a world, however, where we continue to define who we are by what we buy, a bed is a clear statement of our personality – from bed itself to the pillow cases we choose.

? Size – the size of your bed is important ? and not just if you’re tall. The bigger your bed the trendier you are – superking beds are often the bed of choice for those who have the room to take them – giving you plenty of room to chill out as well as sleep soundly. To find out what size bed you can fit into your room, make sure you measure up before you go shopping. A king size bed is 5 feet wide by 6 feet 6 inches long (150cm x 200cm) and a superking is 6 feet wide by 6 feet 6 inches long (180cm x 200cm) and remember that you’ll need walking space around your bed.

? Headboards – you can jazz up your bed by choosing a contemporary headboard. From plain, sophisticated leather to up-to-date fabrics and extra-tall boards, you can make a real design statement in your bedroom without having to spend a fortune on your bed. In addition, you can change the look of your room just by changing your headboard.

? Beds and mattresses – always consider both the bed and the mattress when you’re bed shopping. There are some technologically advanced mattresses out there and, matched with a good quality bed frame or base, they can provide you with hours of comfortable rest.

? Storage – it’s cool to integrate storage with your bedroom solutions. Space is always at a premium, but especially so in studio flats, loft apartments and converted buildings. Wicker baskets, integrated bookshelves and other storage inventions can make your life much neater.

Don’t change your bed every couple of years to accommodate fashion unless you can really afford to. Instead, choose a trendy bed that you can adapt in years to come with bedding and accessories to keep the cool look you love.
